I have a '75 Sport the PO put headers on and ran dual exhaust. He said he ordered the right ones but when had them installed it turned out that they were the long and not short headers. He wound up having them installed anyway but he evidently had to take a hammer and dent the headers a bit to prevent the front driveshaft from hitting. Another issue I have is that the installer did not put catalytic converters on the exhaust. I failed inspection today and now need 2 cat's and a short header for the left side or drivers side. Anybody got a short header for sale that will fit the drivers side of a 302? New or used if in relatively good condition. If I have to go new do you guys have any reccomendations? They told me 75 and up you have to have cat's or won't pass inspection.
One more thing, I do have the original manifolds the PO gave me and am also wondering if I should stay with headers for the better air flow especially since I'm now going to have cat's or go back to the stock manifolds? I like the rumble, not too loud not too soft but wouldn't mind if were a bit quieter with the manifolds back on.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you guys can offer.
